17 Table G - 1. Actions Identified for by the City of Prairie () (From County Master Action Chart) City of Prairie Action Comments on 1 All-Hazards Education & Awareness Programs Work to ensure that all County residents are aware of and sign-up for the Everbridge emergency notification system. Management in coordination with local city and township government This is a standing effort of the County Emergency Management Program. Sign-up for Everbridge is available on the County Emergency Management website and reminders are also put out via Facebook. Cities also work to promote sign-up by local residents by sharing information on city websites and announcements at public meetings. The County CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) may be used to help encourage residents to sign up for Everbridge and understand the different options when registering for this service. County Budget 2 All-Hazards Preparedness & Response Support Ensure that County and its cities have multiple methods established to relay emergency notifications to all segments of the public. Management in coordination with City Emergency Managers County residents receive emergency warnings through the PSAP with IPAWs, the Everbridge Emergency Warning System, NOAA All- Hazard Radios, and through the outdoor emergency warning siren system using voice and siren. The County also addresses the language barriers in communicating disaster preparedness information and disaster warnings to non-english population groups. This information is provided through ECHO (Emergency Communication Health Outreach). ECHO increases access to life-saving emergency information by facilitating efficient mass-media messaging in multiple languages. Budgets Page G - 2
18 City of Prairie Action Comments on 6 All-Hazards 7 9 Winter & Winter & Education & Awareness Programs Preparedness and Response Support Preparedness and Response Support Work to promote emergency preparedness for local residents. Ensure that plans are in place for emergency sheltering and that designated shelter facilities are identified. Identify critical facilities or infrastructure that do not have backup power in the event of a major power outage resulting from severe winter or summer storms. (Critical facilities may include: police/fire departments, EOC, health care facilities, water & sewer treatment facilities, and other facilities deemed as critical, i.e. public schools and sheltering facilities). Management in coordination with City EM s Management in coordination with City EM s Management, City Admin & Public Works This is a standing effort of the County Emergency Management Program. The County provides emergency preparedness presentations to cover information such as developing family emergency plans, develop go-kits, push for Everbridge sign up, etc. City EM s also work to provide this same information at the local level. County has a shelter plan and has trained CERT members how to open the shelter at the National Guard Armory in. The Armory is a Statedesignated shelter facility, and helps to ensure our preparedness to meet the needs of local residents and travelers. County buildings (Admin & SCHA) are high priorities for backup generators in the event of a power outage. The County Admin building serves as a hub for County operations (IT, Treasurer, Board of Commissioners, P&Z, Assessors, etc.) and will serve as a command center in the event of a disaster. City jurisdictions have also identified a need for backup power for government buildings or other critical facilities or infrastructure. Budgets budgets Page G - 3
19 City of Prairie Action Comments on Winter & Winter & Winter & Preparedness and Response Support Preparedness & Response Support Structure and Infrastructure Projects Purchase and install generator hook-ups and encourage local generator purchases for identified critical facilities that require backup power. Work to ensure that all cities have battery backup on traffic lights and warning sirens in the event of power outages from severe winter/ summer storms. Work with rural electrical coops and municipal utilities to identify and address mitigation measures for above ground power lines that are susceptible to damage from severe storms (i.e., strengthening/burying) in order to reduce potential power outages. Moderate Management, City Admin & Public Works Management, City Admin & Public Works -Waseca Cooperative Electric in cooperation with County and city municipal utilities ( P.U. and Prairie P.U.) local city governments, and schools will evaluate feasibility to purchase and install generators for key facilities. All the traffic lights in the City of have battery backup on traffic lights. The City of Prairie will look into adding battery backup to two of our older sirens. (Currently two have battery backup). The (-Waseca Cooperative Electric) SWCE continues to protect the electrical distribution system by continuously doing line and pole inspections, trimming trees and vegetation that imperil power lines and inspecting underground power lines. SWCE will look for opportunities to protect the power distribution system by reinforcing transmission lines or burying lines underground when feasible. The County Emergency Manager, Utilities and CAER group continue to work with the County Planning Commission and staff to modify county subdivision regulations to require burial of all new power distribution lines before any new subdivision plats will be approved, if feasible.

Engineer solutions to address wastewater and stormwater management issues in the City due to high rain events and flooding on the Straight River. City of Medford City of Medford City Planning & Public Works Dept. City Planning & Public Works Dept. in consultation & coordination with SC SWCD The city s Straight River Park has flooded several times. Picnic tables, electrical infrastructure, wood chips, baseball field, fencing, volleyball court sand & equipment, etc. has been damaged or washed away. The City may move the infrastructure to a different location or raise the infrastructure. The City of Medford s wastewater treatment plant needs pumps and floats installed to pump treated water to the river when the river rises above the discharge pipe, preventing the water from being discharged to the river. Groundwater also seeps into the wastewater treatment plant sludge building during floods. The basement of the sludge building becomes flooded and pumps are used to discharge the water. An engineered solution may be needed to prevent future flooding. Stormwater pipes, rip-rap and other infrastructure has been damaged or washed away in past floods. The City may need to engineer solutions to keep the infrastructure in place or relocate the infrastructure.

City of Medford City Planning & Public Works Dept. in consultation & coordination with SC SWCD The riverbank within the City of Medford is eroding. Streambank stabilization must occur to prevent city stormwater infrastructure and private residential properties from falling into the river and washing away. (Lois M. Nelson, Mayor): Our Zoning and Planning Board have reviewed a shoreline ordinance. This included discussions with homeowners along Sunrise Dr who have properties adjacent to the Straight River on the north end of town. This is now with the City Council to take action on. It is more future-oriented with property development on the west and south end of town. SWCD, City, FEMA HMA funding for Floodplain and Stream Restoration Page G - 29
45 Table G - 6. Actions Identified for by the City of () (From County Master Action Chart) City of Action Comments on 1 All-Hazards Education & Awareness Programs Work to ensure that all County residents are aware of and sign-up for the Everbridge emergency notification system. On-going Management in coordination with local city and township government This is a standing effort of the County Emergency Management Program. Sign-up for Everbridge is available on the County Emergency Management website and reminders are also put out via Facebook. Cities also work to promote sign-up by local residents by sharing information on city websites and announcements at public meetings. The County CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) may be used to help encourage residents to sign up for Everbridge and understand the different options when registering for this service. County Budget 2 All-Hazards Preparedness & Response Support Ensure that County and its cities have multiple methods established to relay emergency notifications to all segments of the public. On-going Management in coordination with City Emergency Managers County residents receive emergency warnings through the PSAP with IPAWs, the Everbridge Emergency Warning System, NOAA All- Hazard Radios, and through the outdoor emergency warning siren system using voice and siren. The County also addresses the language barriers in communicating disaster preparedness information and disaster warnings to non-english population groups. This information is provided through ECHO (Emergency Communication Health Outreach). ECHO increases access to life-saving emergency information by facilitating efficient mass-media messaging in multiple languages. Budgets Page G - 30
46 City of Action Comments on 6 All-Hazards 7 Winter & Education & Awareness Programs Preparedness and Response Support Work to promote emergency preparedness for local residents. Ensure that plans are in place for emergency sheltering and that designated shelter facilities are identified. On-going On-going Management in coordination with City EM s Management in coordination with City EM s This is a standing effort of the County Emergency Management Program. The County provides emergency preparedness presentations to cover information such as developing family emergency plans, develop go-kits, push for Everbridge sign up, etc. City EM s also work to provide this same information at the local level. County has a shelter plan and has trained CERT members how to open the shelter at the National Guard Armory in. The Armory is a Statedesignated shelter facility, and helps to ensure our preparedness to meet the needs of local residents and travelers. Budgets Page G - 31
47 City of Action Comments on Winter & Winter & Winter & Preparedness and Response Support Preparedness and Response Support Preparedness & Response Support Identify critical facilities or infrastructure that do not have backup power in the event of a major power outage resulting from severe winter or summer storms. (Critical facilities may include: police/fire departments, EOC, health care facilities, water & sewer treatment facilities, and other facilities deemed as critical, i.e. public schools and sheltering facilities). Purchase and install generator hook-ups and encourage local generator purchases for identified critical facilities that require backup power. Work to ensure that all cities have battery back up on traffic lights and warning sirens in the event of power outages from severe winter/ summer storms. Moderate Management, City Admin & Public Works Management, City Admin & Public Works Management, City Admin & Public Works County buildings (Admin & SCHA) are high priorities for back-up generators in the event of a power outage. The County Admin building serves as a hub for County operations (IT, Treasurer, Board of Commissioners, P&Z, Assessors, etc.) and will serve as a command center in the event of a disaster. City jurisdictions have also identified a need for backup power for government buildings or other critical facilities or infrastructure. The City of needs a larger generator for law enforcement center so we can run the Police/Sheriff department center. Current generator provides coverage for Dispatch only. local city governments, and schools will evaluate feasibility to purchase and install generators for key facilities. All the traffic lights in the City of have battery back up on traffic lights. budgets Budgets, FEMA HMA 5% Initiative for Generators Budgets Page G - 32
48 City of Action Comments on Winter & Winter & Structure and Infrastructure Projects Preparedness and Response Support Work with rural electrical coops and municipal utilities to identify and address mitigation measures for above ground power lines that are susceptible to damage from severe storms (i.e., strengthening/ burying) in order to reduce potential power outages. Promote the use of NOAA weather radios as a key communications resource for residents, businesses, and facilities that house vulnerable populations (i.e., nursing homes, group homes, senior centers, and day care facilities). On-going -Waseca Cooperative Electric in cooperation with County and city municipal utilities ( P.U. and Prairie P.U.) Management in coordination with City EM s The (-Waseca Cooperative Electric) SWCE continues to protect the electrical distribution system by continuously doing line and pole inspections, trimming trees and vegetation that imperil power lines and inspecting underground power lines. SWCE will look for opportunities to protect the power distribution system by reinforcing transmission lines or burying lines underground when feasible. In the City of, we will work with our municipal public utility to address Power line storm strengthening or convert overhead power lines to underground lines. This is a standing effort of the County Emergency Management Program. Grant funding was used to provide NOAA All Hazard Weather Radios in Schools and Public Gathering Points in. Weather Radios have been promoted through Skywarn and anyone that purchases a NOAA Weather Radio can drop it off at the Fire Station and Skywarn members will program it for free to the County Codes. Promotion of the value of NOAA weather radios is also a part of County s annual participation in the NWS spring and winter Weather Awareness Weeks in April and November.
